Special Response Team

Purpose

The primary focus of the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office's Special Response Team is to increase the likelihood of safely resolving critical incidents. The safety of citizens and the men and women of law enforcement are the priorities during deployments of the tactical team.

Mission

To select, staff, equip, train, and prepare the team to resolve incidents involving a threat to public safety which would otherwise exceed the capabilities of traditional law enforcement first responders and investigative units. We work with other divisions and agencies to succeed in the law enforcement mission. For each operation a planning process and after-action performance evaluation shall be performed to make adjustments as necessary to insure overall team competency.

Vision for the Future

Uphold our more than twenty years of implementing progressive training, tactics, and tools; evaluate safer methods of protecting the citizens and law enforcement. We will continue to staff the team with appropriate personnel by maintaining our high standards.
